數週前,在全球協力的「搶救泰國足球少年山洞救援行動」中,美軍派出了40多名軍人參與此行動。參與人道救援行動是美軍的傳統,無論是在國內還是在國外,面對重大天然災害,美軍往往是救災的重要力量。比如2013年的菲律賓海燕颱風、2011年東日本大震災、2010年海地地震、2004年印度洋大地震及南亞大海嘯等,美軍都在救災行動中提供協助。了解更多:https://goo.gl/rbw3mN
Several weeks ago, the U.S. military sent more than 40 military personnel to participate in the Thailand Cave Rescue Operation. Participation in humanitarian assistance operations is a tradition of the U.S. military. Whether it is a domestic or international natural disaster, the U.S. military is often an important force in disaster relief, providing assistance during Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines in 2013, the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011, the Haiti earthquake in 2010, and the Indian Ocean Earthquake and Tsunami in 2004. https://goo.gl/rbw3mN

indian ocean earthquake of 2004 在 Lee Hsien Loong Facebook 的精選貼文
Ten years ago, on 26 Dec 2004, a huge earthquake off Sumatra triggered a deadly tsunami which crashed into coastlines around the Indian Ocean. 230,000 people died, and millions lost their homes.
I recall visiting Banda Aceh and Meulaboh in Indonesia days after the disaster. This was the closest land to the epicentre, and the worst hit. The SAF were already there, mounting our largest relief effort ever, to support our close neighbour. Our Home Team, NGOs, and individual Singaporeans were also helping.
I was overwhelmed by the extensive damage. But despite the trauma, grief and uncertainty, the survivors were determined to recover and not give up. A decade later, many of the destroyed areas are again bustling with life. The survivors have also rebuilt their lives. But we also remember those who have perished.
The tsunami shows starkly how fragile and uncertain human life is, and how resilient and united we must be in the face of adversity. Natural calamities will happen again. We must be prepared for them, and work together to protect ourselves. – LHL

10 Things You Didn’t Know About FUKUSHIMA NUCLEAR DISASTER: https://youtu.be/HpOG4WFKBZQ

10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE 2011 JAPANESE TSUNAMI & TOHOKU EARTHQUAKE
(TOHOKU DISASTER) 東北地方太平洋沖地震 (March 11th)
The most powerful earthquake ever recorded to have hit Japan. A 9.0 magnitude. This of course triggered a massive tsunami that wrecked the north eastern coastline.
Japan was simply not as prepared as they thought they were for such a disaster. If that wasn’t bad enough, there was a Level 7 nuclear emergency at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant comparable to Chernobyl.
1) Every 800 to 1100 Years
From analysing the Holocene sequence in the Sendai area, it’s known that sometime between 1000 BC and 500 BC, a massive tsunami-generating earthquake hit the area.
Then in 1 AD, it hit again.
Over 800 years later, The Sanriku Earthquake and Tsunami of 869, devastated the same area in and around Sendai.
That’s 3 events of similar type and magnitude in the same region all in the last 3000 years. This indicates a recurrence interval of 800 to 1100 years. We were due another one...
2) Antarctic Ice
Seismic waves increased the flow of the Whillans Ice Stream in Antarctica, which is essentially a moving ice river. Sea waves, having traveled 13,000 km broke icebergs the size of Manhattan off the Sulzberger Ice Shelf.
3) Planetary Changes
The Earth’s axis shifted by 10 to 25 cm, which changed the tilt of the planet and the length of a day-. That’s right; the redistribution of Earth’s mass shortened our day by almost two microseconds.
4) Costliest Natural Disaster
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami, $15 billion
The 9/11 Terrorist Attacks, $20.7 billion
Hurricane Katrina in 2005, $45 billion
The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake in China, $148 billion
The 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan? Over $300 billion
5) Gaman
In Japan, immediately following the earthquake, there was a notable lack of disorder.
People remained calm despite having every right to freak out. They formed orderly lines outside supermarkets even though they were desperate for food. This act of civility is due to what the Japanese call, Gaman.
Gaman means to do one’s best in times of distress, to maintain self control and discipline. There is a national desire to see civility prevail, no matter the circumstances, even when one catastrophe piles onto another.
6) Yakuza Crime Syndicate
Members of the Yakuza, Japan’s organised crime syndicate, helped enforce order on the streets.
7) North Korean Assist
North Korea donated a $100,000 US to the Japanese Red Cross Society, and the late former leader Kim Jong-Il himself sent half a million dollars to Korean residents in Japan caught up in the disaster.
8) Celebrity Aid
All around the world, many celebrities privately donated to the relief effort, including Hikaru Utada, Gackt, AKB48, Girls’ Generation, Jackie Chan, Clint Eastwood, Sandra Bullock, Gwen Stefani, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas, My Chemical Romance, and Lady Gaga.
9) Ghost Passengers
Police have received hundreds of reports from people who have apparently seen ghosts in tsunami-devastated towns. Taxi drivers in particular have reported picking up ghost passengers.
10) Vindicated Mayor
Wamura became the mayor of Fudai, and in 1972, he started construction on a 15.5 meter floodgate. The total cost was 3.56 billion yen. Many residents as well as the village council felt a floodgate of that size was unnecessary. It was reckless spending from a foolish mayor.
The Tohoku tsunami destroying towns along the north eastern coast. Fudai, however, was spared. Wamura’s floodgate had prevented much of the water from coming in. He had saved the town that had doubted him.
Today, Kotaku Wamura is remembered as a hero, the saviour of Fudai.
